Lucky

We took “Lucky” on an unforgettable trip to Helena and back, stopping at seven BLM and remote campsites along the way. The ride was smooth, comfortable, and easy, and the van was an absolute dream to sleep in. It kept us cozy when the temperature dipped to 27°F and perfectly cool when it climbed to 80°F. It had everything we needed—and more. Chester and his family were incredibly helpful and quick to answer any questions we had.

I rented Lucky on an emergency basis - I returned another camper van in the area with a house battery problem, and found Lucky as a suitable replacement. Chester, the owner, was very accommodating and easy to work with. I did have a minor problem with the diesel heater refusing the run, but the heat could also run off electricity. Chester offered to come out and fix, and I appreciated the care and effort. The house battery charges only by driving the van - no solar. I found driving for 1 hour was more than enough to recharge the battery. Stationary, the battery can reasonably last 2-3 days depending on use. The induction cooktop is the biggest drain, but Lucky also comes with a camp stove. I’d say the shower isn’t that practical to use other than a rare occasion. Lucky’s fresh water tank is 20 gallons, and the hot water heater gets shower water mildly warm. I did really like the bed setup - long enough for me at 6-3. And the windows in the rear allowed for nice ventilation at night. Another plus is you can dim the overhead lights at night; no getting blasted by bright LED’s. Definitely rent Lucky if the specs fit your needs.

We had an awesome time renting “Lucky” with our family of four. Our kids loved the cozy lower bunk and my 6’4” husband and I slept soundly on the top bunk! Chester and his family were very helpful getting us aquatinted with the vehicle, and answering any questions we had while on our trip. We hope to rent from them again, we had an awesome time!

Screen for sliding door! Worked great

Everything we hoped for and more. The host was amazing and thoughtful. He went over the entire vehicle with care and a genuine focus on us having a great experience. The van was amazing and had everything you could possibly need for an adventure. The beds were comfortable and large. Sink, large mini fridge, shower, swivel chairs, awning. All worked great and made the weekend so effortless. Thank you so much for offering this vehicle for our use. Highly recommend.
